So, I realized I'm not a very good blogger. Well, not a very consistent blogger. This Sunday officially marks one month since the day we left the big blue (COLD!) Pacific Ocean and headed eastward for the first time in my life, landing once again in the beautiful and amazing state of Colorado. Okay, I'll admit the Rockies were a tad bit cold also.... we did see snow. Lots of snow. But, we're convinced we won't have to see anymore of that until later this year. Much later this year. We just aren't ready for that yet. Yes, I'm from Minnesota... but San Diego turned me into a complete nancy pants when it comes to weather. Leanna, I now know why you wore long underwear under your jeans to class in college. That is no longer hysterical, but actually practical and completely sane.
How easily this post diverted to my legitimate fear of winter and my inability to withstand temperatures outside of San Diego's moderate 65-75 degree days. Everyday. But for us, that consistency got boring. We missed the dog days of summer (forget that I'm practically melting in Colorado's 90 degree heat). We missed those brisk fall days where you actually enjoy putting on a sweater for the first time. We missed those snowy days where your backyard turns into a winter wonderland. And oh boy did we miss the rejuvenation of springtime when you are convinced that 50 degrees is completely flip flop worthy. I've lived in flip flops for the past four years... B-O-R-I-N-G.
Moving on. What I really wanted to write about today was how tired Colorado is making me. Completely exausted. Living in Colorado has been so great that I wake up every morning as if it's Christmas. As if I'm 5 years old again and Mr. Clause has just flown away leaving me with dozens upon dozens of presents. I can't sleep past 7 because I'm just so excited to get on with my day and we can't go to sleep before midnight because Santa is coming again in the morning. Ugh. It's tiring. BUT SO FUN. My favorite things in the whole wide world: Friends, family, and golf (8 rounds in 4 weeks and I'm still not good. Imagine that). Take yesterday for example. I woke up around 7. Worked until noonish. Spent the afternoon at the pool with girlfriends. Golfed a quick 18 at 4. Went out for dinner and drinks with Nicole and Brad (Love them!). Hung at Brad and Nicole's. Crashed into bed at 1ish. Talk about packing it in... and such has been my life for the past month. I'm in love. Just also in need of a serious power nap because that's all I have time for.
The highlight so far was Fathers Day. What I thought was going to be a day I got an ever so softly rejected invitation from my Dad to come join me for a day of Brunch and Father-Daughter Golf turned out to be one of the best Father's Days I can remember in a LONG time. Actually... one of the only Father's Days in my adult life I got to actually spend it WITH him! BRILLIANT, DAD! My Dad surprised me and I think I'm still recovering from the shock of it. I'm still not even sure that those three days even occurred yet. If only I had pictures to prove it. I've been going around surprising everyone else for the past several years and HE surprised ME! We had soooooo much fun and you want to know the best part? He's coming back in less than two weeks and he's even bringing my Mom. I love my parents dearly.
Magic. What I'll need to get all these brilliant blog posts stored in my head actually posted. Stay tuned there is much more to come. Love to all. KTD
